Boston flights impacted after Atlanta airport loses power

Flights between Boston and Atlanta were canceled again on Monday as the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport recovers from a large power outage.

On Monday morning, three Delta Air Lines flights from Boston to Atlanta were canceled, and two flights from Atlanta to Boston were canceled as well, according to flight tracker FlightAware. At least 18 flights were canceled between the two international airports on Sunday, and two other flights diverted.

A widespread power outage occurred at the Hartsfield-Jackson airport Sunday evening after what Georgia Power believes was tied to "extensive damage in an underground facility," according to a press release.

Before 6 a.m. Monday, the airport said power was restored at midnight and that all concession stands and TSA security lines were open.

The Atlanta airport delivered more than 5,000 meals to waiting passengers, according to one tweet.

Another tweet showed Chick-fil-A Chairman and CEO Dan T. Cathy delivering food and water to stranded passengers Sunday night. The chicken chain is typically closed on Sundays to allow employees to "set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose."
